My lovely, cheery little geum. I thought it would look marvelous in my authentic antique jar given to me by my mother-in-law. It's a jar that once contained what is called 'bluing' used for laundry because it makes whites look whiter. The wording in the glass says 'This bottle contains Mrs. Stewart's Bluing'. What a little gem to hold my geum!
Check out the cute little site 'Mrs. Stewart's Bluing' (since 1883). Looks like this product is still available!
Joining in the fun at Project Alicia's Lazy days of Summer where the theme this Friday is 'Flowers'. Ahh, flowers, I can do flowers . . .

I have one of those old bottles. Great idea to show off a few blossoms. :)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photo, Barb.
You have a wonderful eye for photography.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of that bluing laundry stuff, so lucky to have the bottle! I love to collect blue bottles.
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with your blog and your amazing photography skills, I could read it from the beginning to present, and I just might do that someday!
These geums are my favorite and they spread really good. My mother gave me some few years ago and now I have almost everywhere. The color of this flower is so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot I think I have to copy this idea:)
Such pretty flowers and fun bottle. My grandmother used bluing for her wash for years. In fact one time a curious white cat fell into the tub while she was doing whites and it came out a beautiful shade of blue!
